I. PREPARATION
A. Safety Precautions
Important! The following safety precautions must always be observed.
Hazard Symbols
Fuel (gasoline) is extremely flammable and its vapors can
explode if ignited. Store gasoline only in approved containers,
in well-ventilated, unoccupied approved areas, and away from
sparks or flames. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is hot
or running. Do not start the engine near spilled fuel. Never use
the fuel as a cleaning agent
Engine components can get extremely hot from operation. To
prevent burns, do not touch the engine or related parts while the
engine is running or immediately after it is turned off. Never
operate the engine with any heat shields or guards removed.
Keep all guards in place when operating any piece of equipment
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all rotating parts
Lethal Exhaust Gas: use only in well ventilated areas. Engine
exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is
odorless, colorless, and can cause death if inhaled. Avoid
inhaling exhaust fumes, and never run the engine in a closed
building or confined area.
Never tamper with the governor components of settings to
increase the maximum speed. Severe personal injury and
damage to the engine or equipment can result if operated at
speed above maximum. Always obey the maximum speed
rating of blade.
DO NOT LIFT THE SAW BY THE HANDLE
BARS

Dust and Silica Warning
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can
generate dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or
fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the
particular process and/or material being cut or the composition of the tool being
used, review the material safety data sheet and/or consult your employer, the
material manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as OSHA and
NIOSH and other sources on hazardous materials and make certain to comply
with all product warnings and instructions for the safe and effective use of the
material being cut. California and some other authorities, for instance, have
published lists of substances known to cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or
other harmful effects.
Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use
good work practices and follow the recommendations of the manufacturer/supplier,
OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade associations. Water should be used
for dust suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the hazards from
inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot be eliminated through engineering
controls such as vacuum and/or water mist, the operator and any bystanders
should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the material being
cut.

1. Before mounting any blade on the saw, the blade should be inspected for
any damage which might have occurred during shipment, handling or
previous use.
2. The blade collars and arbors should be cleaned and examined for damage
before mounting the blade.
3. The blade must be properly fitted over the arbor with the drive pin on the
outside collar projecting through the drive pin hole on the blade and
inside collar.
4. The blade shaft nut, which is a left-hand thread nut, must be tightened
securely against the outside blade shaft collar.
5. The blade must be operated within the specified maximum operating
speed listed on the blade.
6. Turn water control valve to full to provide adequate coolant (4 to 6 gallons
per minute) for diamond blades and wet cutting abrasive blades.
Insufficient coolant could result in severe blade breakage or diamond
segment separation.
7. The blade guard must be in place with the nose guard down and locked
when the saw is running.
8. The operator should wear safety glasses and any other appropriate safety
equipment.
9. When starting the saw, the operator should stand away and to the side of
the blade.
10.If for any reason the saw should stall in the cut, raise the blade out of the
cut. Check the outside blade shaft collar and nut for tightness. Inspect
the blade for damage before restarting the saw. Use caution when
resuming a cut. Be certain that the blade is in alignment with the previous
cut.
11.During cutting operations do not exert excess side pressure on the
handles as a method of steering. Do not force the blade into the cut by
lowering the blade too fast or by pushing the saw too fast.

D. Engine
Prior to attempting to operate the engine, read the information
contained in the engine owner's manual. An engine owner’s manual is
supplied with every gasoline powered concrete saw.
1. Check Oil: Add oil if low. Refer to the engine owner's manual for the
recommended SAE viscosity grades. Capacity of oil is 1.16 US quarts (1.1
liters)
2. Check Fuel: Fill if low. Use only unleaded gasoline with a pump sticker
octane rating of 86 or higher is recommended. Never use an oil and
gasoline mixture!
3. Air Cleaner: Never run the engine without the air cleaner! Rapid engine
wear will result from contaminants being drawn through the carburetor and
into the engine.
4. Engine Starting: Refer to the engine owner's manual additional proper
engine starting procedure.
E. Pointer Alignment
1. Use a straight edge, and carefully mark a line 12 feet long on a smooth level
surface.
2. Place the saw blade on the marked line, move the saw to the center of the
marked line and then lower the blade until it is about 1/16” above the
marked line
3. Measure from each end of the saw frame to insure that the frame is parallel
to the marked line. Adjust the saw as needed.
4. With the blade centered on the marked line and the saw frame parallel to
the marked line, lower the front pointer.
5. Adjust the pointer by bending it until is aligned with the marked line.
II. OPERATION
A. Installing the Blade
1. Disconnect the spark plug.
2. Remove the blade shaft nut, (Turn clockwise),and remove the outside
collar.

10
3. Clean off any foreign particles on the clamping surfaces of both collars
and on the mounting surface of the blade.
4. Place the blade on the blade shaft, lining up the drive pin hole in the
blade with the drive pinhole in the inside collar.
For Best Performance Use Only Norton Diamond Blades
Specified For the Material Being Cut.
5. Slide the outside blade shaft collar onto the blade shaft. The drive pin
on the outside collar must project through the drive pin hole in the blade
and into the inside collar.
6. Tighten the blade shaft nut (counter-clockwise) securely against the
outside collar.
7. Reconnect the spark plug.
B. Starting the Engine
1. Refer to the engine owner's manual for detail starting procedures.
2. Always cut with engine rpm in the full throttle setting.
Before starting, insure that the blade is properly installed,
all guards are in place and in safe operating condition, and
that the Blade is not in contact with any surface or object.
Also verify that the area where the work is to be preformed
is clean, safe, and has proper ventilation and lighting.
Always located and properly mark all water, gas, and
electrical services before beginning any work.

11
Turn the Fuel Control To the ON Position Move the choke lever to the CLOSED position.
NOTE: do not use the choke if the engine is warm or
the air temperature is high.
Pull The Throttle Control Slightly to the Rear to
provide some engine throttle. Place the engine ON/OFF switch to the ON position
Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance,
then pull briskly. CAUTION: Do not allow the starter
grip to snap back against the engine. Return it gently
to prevent damage to the starter.
As the engine warms up, gradually move the choke
lever to the OPEN position. Position the throttle
control lever for the maximum engine speed (full
Rear).
To stop the engine, move the Throttle Control Lever fully to the Forward
Position (Slow) right, then turn the engine switch to the OFF position. Turn the
fuel valve to the OFF position.
Never transport the machine with the Fuel Valve in the ON
position. Never Store the machine with the Fuel Valve in the
ON position. Never Transport a machine with the blade
installed.

12
C. Water Supply
Pressurized source: Turn the water control to full "ON" when using wet
cutting blades. The required flow rate is 4-6 gallons per minute.
Water Tank on saw: This supply is designed for use with dry blades to
keep the dust levels down. The tank will not supply the proper water flow
rates when used with wet cut only blades. Do not drink the water from this
tank. Fill the tank with water only. Close the water tank valve. Attach the
saws water supply hose to the tank outlet. Fill the tank with water. The
capacity of the tank is 6.5 US Gallons (24.6 liter). When you are ready to
cut, adjust the water supply rate until a fine mist or a slow trickle is made.
The use of water greatly decreases the amount of dust produced during the
cutting process, aids in the cooling of the blade, and provides additional
stability.
Use Only Water In The Water Tank
Do Not Drink From The Tank
D. Operating the Saw
1. For blade installation instructions see section II. Operation sub heading
A. Installing the Blade. For the engine starting instructions, see the
Engine manual and follow the instructions located in section II. Operation
sub heading B. Starting the Engine.
2. Check the Engine Oil level.
3. Raise the saw to the full upright position. Do not let the blade come in
contact with the ground.
4. Maneuver the saw to the desired starting point.
5. If wet cutting, connect the water supply to the saw.
6. Follow the instructions for starting the engine found in the Engine manual.
7. If wet cutting, turn on the water supply at the source and then open the
water valves on the saw. Make sure that there is a minimum of 4-6 gallons
per minute of water flow!!
8. Be sure the engine is running at full throttle!!!
9. Slowly lower the blade by rotating the hand wheel clockwise until the
desired depth of cut is reached. Use a reasonable rate of feed. Do not
force the blade into the cut!!

13
10. When the end of the cut is reached, slowly raise the blade out of the cut by
rotating the Hand Wheel counter-clockwise until the blade is at least one
(1) inch above the ground.
11. Only move the saw in reverse with the blade in the raised position.
13. When moving the saw to a new location, be sure the blade is not touching
the ground. Always pay close attention to where you are moving and
where the blade is at all times.
E. Cutting Technique
Lower the blade into the concrete to the required depth by turning the hand
wheel clockwise.
Reduce the forward pressure if the saw begins to stall.
Note: For deeper cuts (4 inches or more), several cuts should be made in
incremental steps of 1-1/2 to 2 inches until the desired depth of cut is reached.
Push the saw steadily forward using the front pointer as a guide. Exert enough
forward pressure so that the engine begins to labor, but does not slow down. If
the saw begins to stall, reduce the forward movement until full rpm is restored
to the blade. If the saw stalls, raise the blade out of the cut before restarting.
Avoid excessive side pressure or twisting of the blade in the cut.
Additional Guide Lines For Sawing:
Understand and follow all of the instructions in this owner’s manual.
If wet cutting, turn on the water supply so that there is a minimum of 4-6
gallons per minute of water flow!!
In critically hard aggregate, more than a single pass may be needed to cut
the desired depth.
If the saw stalls in the cut, immediately stop the forward speed and raise the
blade out of the cut. If this is not done the belts can fail or the blade may be
damaged.
Go slowly with a new blade until it opens up, that is, until the diamonds can
be seen and felt.

14
III. MAINTENANCE
A. Engine
Follow the below schedule for engine maintenance. NOTE: Check the Honda
Engine manual that came with the engine for any changes to the maintenance
schedule. If the charts have any differences, follow the chart in the Honda
Engine Manual. The Norton does not warranty the engine. If any warranty or
service of the engine is required contact your nearest Honda service center, or
from the Internet: http://www.honda-engines.com/home.htm
Honda engine (refer to owner's manual for complete maintenance.)
Check the engine oil level before each use when the engine is cool and the
engine is level. Add oil if the level is low. The oil level should be within the
operating range (see the engine owner’s manual for details).
Only use a high-detergent, premium quality motor oil certified to meet or
exceed U.S. automobile manufacturer’s requirements for Service Classification
SG, SF/CC, CD. Motor oils will show the classification on the container. A
SAE viscosity of 10W-30 is recommend by Honda for general, all temperature
use. Please consult the below chart or contact your local Honda service center
for the proper viscosity for your temperature range.

15
Always refer to the engine manual for more detailed information on checking
the oil, changing oil, and oil capacity, air filter changes, and fuel type to use.
Use only Honda air filters. Do not clean the air filter with gasoline or other
flammable solvents. A fire or explosion could result. To clean, follow the
instructions found in the Honda engine manual.
Dry Cutting Engine Maintenance
When operating the engine in dry cutting or dusty environments the
following is required:
Engine oil changed more often.
Every 50 hours (or more often if conditions require) clean all of the engine
cooling fins.
Every 25 hours (or more often if conditions require) clean the engine
precleaner.
Every 100 hours (or more often if conditions require) replace the air filter. If
the engine is equipped with a reusable air cleaner, clean and re-oil it.
Check and clean the air filter after each use. Replace as needed.
B. Bearings
Re lubrication type bearings must be relubricated weekly to assure long
life. The grease used should conform to the NLGI grade two and be free of
any chemical impurities such as free acid or free alkali, dust, rust, metal
particles or abrasives.

16
For best results, bearings should be relubricated while in operation. Note:
Due caution for personal safety must be observed when servicing
rotating equipment. The grease should be pumped in slowly until a slight
bead forms around the seals. This bead, in addition to acting as an
indicator of adequate relubrication, provides additional protection against
the entry of foreign matter. If necessary to relubricate while the bearing is
idle refer to relubrication table for maximum grease capacity for the various
size bearings.
Shaft Size Maximum Grease Capacity of
Bearing Chamber in Ounces
1/2"' to 3/4" 1/8
7/8" to 1-3/16" 3/8
1-1/4" to 1-1/2" 5/8
Improper Maintenance Of Bearings Is Not Covered By Any
Warranty. Over Lubrication Will Damage A Bearing. Grease
Protruding From The Sides Of The Bearing Is A Sign Of
Over Lubrication. Not Lubricating Bearings Will Damage
The Bearing Unit. Damage Caused By Over or Under
Lubricating Bearings Is Not Covered By Any Warranty.
C. V-Belts
Warning: Never make adjustments to belts or pulleys while
engine is running!
The best tension for a belt drive is the lowest tension at which the belts will not
slip under full load.
To adjust the C1318P Belt Tension:
The C1318P uses a simple single point tensioning system for the belt
tensioning. The Belt Tensioning Assembly can be found behind the engine and
is located in the center of the Frame. The Belt Tensioning Device is designed to
pull or push the engine from the center which helps to reduce the Engine from
twisting during the Belt Tensioning process. This new system is designed to be
simple to install and to maintain with the tools equipped with the machine.
Insure that the Engine ON/OFF Switch is in the OFF position
and that the Spark Plug is disconnected before making any
adjustment to the Belt tension.

17
Figure: C1318P Belt Tensioning System
1. Review the locations of the C1318P Belt Tensioning system before
proceeding. (See Figure: C1318P Belt Tensioning System on the
previous page).
2. Remove the Belt Guard by loosening and removing the three M10 Belt
Guard Retaining Bolts.
3. Check belt tension by pushing up or down at the center top span of the
belt. The belt should move around 3/8” to ½” up and down. If
adjustment is needed go to step 4. If no adjustment is required, replace
belt guard and tighten all of the M10 Belt Guard Retaining Hardware.
4. Slightly loosen the four (4) M10 Engine Mounting Bolts. NOTE: The four
M10 Engine Mounting Bolts will need to remain snug during the belt
tensioning process. Not keeping the M10 Engine Mounting Bolts snug
may allow the engine to twist in the mounting slots which may result in
the pulleys becoming missed aligned.
5. Loosen the two (2) M10 Jam Nuts on the C1318P Belt Tensioning
Assembly (See Figure: C1318P Belt Tensioning Assembly below).

Nut until the required Belt Tension is achieved. To loosen the Belts turn
the front M10 Jam Nut counter clockwise until the required Belt Tension
is achieved. (See Figure: C1318P Belt Tensioning Jam Nut
Directions). NOTE: Do not over tighten the belts as too tight of belts
can break Engine Output Shafts, Blade Shafts, Belts, and cause
premature Bearing Failures. Failures due to too tight of Belts are not
covered by any warranty. Too loose of Belts will cause the Belts to slip
under load, and may cause burning of the Belts and is not covered under
any warranty.
Figure: C1318P Belt Tensioning Jam Nut Directions
7. Tighten the four (4) M10 Engine Mounting Bolts.
8. Replace the Belt Guard and replace and tighten the M10 Belt Guard
Retaining Hardware.
9. Run the machine for around 15 minutes and recheck the belt tension. If
the Belts slip under load increase the belt tension.
Remember, too much tension shortens belt and bearing life!
Check the belt tension frequently during the first day of operation. Check the
belt tension periodically thereafter and make any
necessary adjustments.
To align the Pulleys:
1. Review the locations of the C1318P Belt
Tensioning system before proceeding. (See
Figure: C1318P Belt Tensioning System
on page 15).

19
2. Remove the Belt Guard by loosening and removing the three M10 Belt
Guard Retaining Bolts.
3. Line up a straight edge along the out side face of both pulleys. (See
Figure: Pulley Alignment to the right.)
4. Misalignment will show up as a gap between the pulley face and the
straight edge.
5. To correct the misalignment move one pulley in or out as required.
Main Causes of Belt Failures:
Premature Belt failure can be attributed to the following issues: Tension (too much
or too little), Pulley Misalignment, Damaged Pulleys, Improper Handling or
Storage, Incorrect Blade Specification for Material Being Cut, and Cutting Too
Deep.
Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action
Belt Breakage Too Much Tension Re-tension Belts
Excessive Shock Load Reduce Load/ Check Blade

D. Depth Control
The depth control (raising screw) consists of a threaded rod, which feeds into a
steel nut. In order to keep the two parts working smoothly it is necessary to
keep the rod free from dirt and sludge as much as possible. Cleaning the
threaded rod with a rag after each use will prevent sludge from collecting in the
tube assembly and protect the threads. It is a good practice to keep the raising
screw threads lubricated, as the slurry generated during cutting will cause
premature thread wear.
The bearing used to support the raising screw should be checked after each
use to make sure it is turning freely and lubricated. If the bearing requires re
lubrication lithium base grease is recommended.
